Girl falling on bike for the first time

[Haxxtt]

did he die

[alexpecs]

,pull in the clutch leave in 1st geary and use the rear brake

This way you will avoid the sudden compresing and decompresing of forks =chaging the weight front to rear

same when doing a U turn

but every body drops his bike,practice ...practice

[antiwonggalonggalo]

i have seen someone do that no less than 50 times in 2 hours...

and it was at a license test place... they passed the actual license too,

made me think jeez, they just give someone a license that cant keep a bike upright 50% of the time...

btw, they look like kawasaki eliminator 250's.. not 1500cc bikes that weigh 500lb's..

@antiwonggalonggalo

I think they're actually 125's, rode on those for my test.

[destroyerbmx]

if youre a new rider, there are firsts for everything, most definitely crashing, it happens.

@destroyerbmx

For my first bike, I got a 2006 kawasaki ninja 636 two years ago and I haven't even dropped it yet :)

[creamyfilling102]

was the bike that heavy? i've sat on my friend's vstar 1100 and it didn't seem to extremely tippy.

[afgr173]

are you a 5 foot 2 female?

[HappyBikerChick]

Been there, done that! I almost dumped today. It happens.

Just learn from it, and get back on! :)

[jtmarsh82]

man like 4 or 5 different girls went down durring my MSF course. It happens, its just a matter of practice and youll get used to the weight and balance

[THEPOWERSWORD]

yeah bike too heavy for her but eventually she got strong enough i supose

[gta3uzi]

No worries, it happens to everybody. Just happy it happened to her on a slow course rather than on a road with cars that could run her over.

[doable1]

Don't listen to people who say if you can't pick it up you shouldn't ride it. Alot of people can't pick up Electra Glides or Goldwings either but they are professional riders

[DanielJuno]

It happens to all of us in the begining. These courses should be manditory for all ages cause its save my skin more then once. Worth every penny

[GerryK61]

Rule of thumb.

If you can't pick the bike up.

Its too big for you to ride.

[naitzirc]

Yeah.. it's quite true though..

I got a bike thats about 150 kilos .. but when it fell over me i could lift it up .. but the funny part it is quite much... but i guess when you are really frustrated and under a bike you get abit boost in your strenght.

[UltraSWG]

Not true at all. Many senior citizens ride Geezer Glides and OldWings and they do just fine.

[Chaotic8]

Easier on the front brake next time.

[jdaredevil]

yea man these courses are mad fun, i already new how to ride but it helps u out, i was dragging the pegs on the lil 250s they give u to ride haha

[djc2232]

i know dude, they are soo light..i might want to buy one they are so much fun.....took a while to get used to from my vulcan 900 though...probly could find one for real cheap

[InfantrymansBeauty]

LOL...my hubby has a Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 and I just got me a 'fiesty' (LOL!) lil' 250 and the man looks lost on it, it's SO tiny in comparison...well that and it's PINK!! I learned to ride on his 2000 and I though it was going to be harder to learn to ride a crotch rocket, but that bad boy set me up for sucess!! Gotta take the safety course so I can ride on post...FUN! BTW...not as cheap as you would think, ppl get very attached to their bikes.

[icanbeurbabygirl]

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahah­hahahahahahahahah.

i hope thats not what ill be doing.

but keep ur head up. haha.

[dbsshadow]

lol this happened to me but with my r6

[aaronk84]

Haha, I'm doing one these beginner courses next spring. Looks like fun.

[TimothyNgoK]
